Reference no: EM131816925

In 2003, the probability of a worker in the United States being employed only part-time was 0.27. Some of the workers were parttime for economic reasons, such as slack work conditions, or inability to find fulltime work. Others were part-time for noneconomic reasons, such as child-care problems, health problems, or being in school. Given that a worker was part-time, the probability of this being for noneconomic reasons was 0.85. What was the overall probability of a worker in the United States being employed part-time for noneconomic reasons?
